Catherine Herridge's Testimony Proves Elites Are Terrified of YOU | Guest: James Poulos | 4/11/24

Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.

In the car,

gym,

even sleeping.

So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live.

She saved so much, she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them.

Sort of.

You were made to scream from the front row.

We were made to quietly save you more.

Expedia, made to travel.

Savings vary and subject to availability, flight inclusive packages are at all protected.

Yeah, I wonder what we oh, you know what?

You should talk about Jace Medical.

Jace Med.

Jace Medical.

I wish I had somebody here to remind me to talk about that.

Don't you, Pat?

Yeah, it would be nice.

Crazy.

Because you forget.

Yeah.

Anyway, there's a time when doctors made house calls.

That doesn't really happen anymore.

There's a time when you could get your pharmaceuticals, you know, at the local drugstore.

That seems to be fading as well.

15 seconds.

All right.

Hey, we may be going to war with Iran.

Yay!

We're going to talk about that coming up.

Got no room

to compromise.

We gotta stay together

if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight

and hold the line.

It's a new day, a time to rain.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, I got secret.

The United States believes a major Iranian attack on Israel and possibly the United States is imminent and could happen at any time.

Yes!

Oh!

War, war, war, war, war, war.

Oh, it's going to be so much fun.

Iran reiterated its vow to retaliate for an alleged Israeli strike in Syria that killed two generals.

among others several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers.

People who are familiar with U.S.

and Israeli intelligence assessments, say that Iran could launch strikes involving high-precision missiles and drones targeting military and government sites in Israel, as well as American sites.

This is going to be,

man, when, you know, Biden ran and said, we're just going to, I mean, a vote for me is a vote for normalcy.

I just didn't think a vote for him was a vote for World War III, but I have a feeling it was.

If not,

it certainly is this time.

We'll give you the update in 60 seconds.

First, when you're living with aches and pains, it's amazing how difficult it is just to move around and do the things you want to do.

If you've ever had any of those days, just getting up from the couch to, you know, to getting going, doing something even in the kitchen involves a lot of false starts, grunting, wincing.

I don't know, Pat.

I need the refrigerator closer to the couch because I get so winded walking to the refrigerator.

You and me both, brother.

Amen.

It's no way to live, but that's how things go.

When we get older, we start to, you know, everything in our body hurts.

That's why you should take Relief Factor.

When you feel the difference, you know it works.

This is really great.

One of the people quoted in the new report from Bloomberg says it's just a matter of of when, not if,

Iran will attack Israel.

The head of the U.S.

Central Command is expected to visit Israel today

for consultations with Defense Minister of Israel and other officials

to discuss the threat of an Iranian attack.

And I don't know about you, but the people who brought us the withdrawal from Afghanistan, I'm certainly glad they're over there giving advice to Israel.

You know, I'm just glad we're there.

You know, I,

you know, I'm a big Israel supporter, but I don't want to fight any of their wars.

You know, I'm for, hey, let them fight their own war.

They're a country.

They're capable.

They at least recognize the evil in Iran.

We don't really do that anymore.

So let them fight it.

I think we have other things to do.

Look, here's one thing I want to talk to you about today.

I see a growing trend in the right that I find a little disturbing, just a little bit.

Some people are calling it a move towards anti-Semitism or maybe anti-Zionism.

I think it personally has to do more with the way the conservative movement is detaching itself from

Christian identity, if you will.

You know, it's just the...

The Southern Baptists,

it doesn't play the role that it used to play.

Christianity is not playing the role it used to play in our society.

And I personally see this as a tragedy.

He's a Christian.

He's a Christian identitarian.

No, no, ha-uh, no.

Nope, I don't want a church running the country.

I want the country run by the Constitution.

But I would love churches.

and people of Judeo-Christian faith because that faith teaches peace, love, love thy neighbor, all of that stuff.

People who actually live that, which there's very few people, I mean, myself included, I don't think

I'm not necessarily the best example of a Christian,

but I try to be.

I try to be a better man every day.

The religious right has been shamed into the closet.

And I'm afraid there is a future coming where the right isn't guided by by God, but by power.

And then what is the difference between us?

Honestly, if we're just guided by power, what are they guided by?

Power.

And I see the turn away from Israel as evidence that the new right doesn't want to submit to God.

Not because the nation state of Israel is completely righteous.

I don't know.

I don't think they are.

I mean, I like Benjamin Netanyahu, but he's got some problems.

You know what I'm saying?

You know, I don't want America to have to subsidize another nation state any nation state i don't want to go fight anybody else's foreign wars

but

the fact that god chose the land of israel as his nation is kind of an unavoidable fact okay kind of i mean that's just i mean

why do you think Why do you think the Muslims want to destroy so much of the history of Israel?

Because in the land of Judea,

there's archaeological evidence that it was run and named after the Jews,

Judea.

Now, does Israel deserve this?

I don't know.

But, you know, I read from the Bible.

On the contrary, who are you, you foolish person, who answers back to God?

The thing molded will not say to the molder, why did you make me like this, will it?

Or does the potter not have a right over the clay to make from the same lump one object for honorable use and another for common use?

Do you have your Bibles with you?

Here's the problem.

In today's world, because God said so, you know, is really, and I know, I don't think Dad really wants to, I mean, he may say that from time to time because he just, well, he's God, so he doesn't get pissed off.

But I don't know.

In his way, he's got to be like us as parents where we're like, Big Hunter I Tedo

once in a while.

But it's not a compelling answer for the new right because we're setting up our own reason as our God.

Now, you know, one of my favorite phrases comes from Thomas Jefferson.

When it comes to religion, above all things,

fix reason firmly in her seat and question with boldness even the very existence of God.

For if there be a God, he must surely

honor reason and honest questioning over blindfolded fear.

So God doesn't ask us for blindfolded faith.

You know, we don't have to all be in lockstep on the interpretation of what Scripture says.

As Paul says, heaven forbid, come, let us reason together.

This is Isaiah.

but at the end of the day when we've wrestled with god like jacob and hurt ourselves do we submit

that's the question

do we know more than him

zachariah said the lord who stretches out the heavens who lays the foundation of the earth who forms the human spirit within a person declares i'm going to make jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling.

And on that day, when the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations.

All those who try to move it will be cut into pieces.

Now, I don't like that last part.

Okay, that last part is like, I don't know.

I don't think we should do that.

Now, he's got a couple of pretty serious rules, you know.

He's got 10.

And I think all 10 of those have shown me in my lifetime, yeah, you know what?

I think this God guy has something going for him.

I think he knows a little bit more than I do, because I like to break almost all of those rules, you know, haven't done the murder one.

It doesn't really appeal to me, but hey, to each his own.

But every one that I have broken, I've regretted afterwards.

I've been like, you know what?

That Moe guy,

when he walked up to the hill, you know, and he got those tablets and he was like, I got just 10 of them.

You know,

I've broken probably,

I don't know,

nine, because I know I didn't do the murder one.

So I've probably broken nine.

And every single one of them, I've, I've, I've gone, hmm, not such a good idea.

Now, none of those say,

oh, by the way, if you do this, I'm going to cut you into pieces.

you know I

as much as I don't like the smoating part of the Bible there's a lot of smoothing in the Bible

personally I think it's not God getting mad at us I think it's actually just the way he set up the universe you do these things

it's going to leave a mark It's like there's patio doors all over in our life.

And God's just there going, there's a patio door.

It's closed.

Don't run.

Don't run.

You're going to hit.

Okay, that's going to leave a mark.

I happen to believe the Bible is true.

And the older I get,

the more important it becomes to me.

I believe every word.

I doesn't mean I understand it,

but I believe...

God stretched out the heavens, laid the foundation, and formed humans, the human spirit.

He formed everything.

So I also believe that anybody who tries to move Israel,

which is a spiritually loaded word that extends beyond the modern nation-state of Israel, but still includes it, will be cut to pieces.

Now, that's not a political opinion.

It's also not an unbiased one that I came, you know, only using my reason.

You know, look, I'm smarter than you.

I figured this out.

No, uh-uh.

No, I'm not.

I just happen to believe what God says he means.

And some people don't.

And that's fine.

Like I said before,

a lot of people no longer believe.

A lot of people no longer go, you know,

I don't know.

The smooting part does kind of worry me.

I don't think God's going to

pound us all into salt.

I think our actions pound us all into salt.

There is something to this whole Jews keep getting persecuted thing.

Maybe I'll share that with you today.

I was talking to a rabbi just a few weeks ago, and I told him this theory, and he said,

Have you talked about that on the air?

And I said, no, not really.

I don't think so.

He's like, you'd really need to.

I've never heard that.

And I think that's right.

Maybe I'll share that with you today, but the tides are turning in an anti-God direction.

Anti-Semitism is a symptom of that disease.

And that disease becomes evil.

Evil.

You're seeing evil everywhere, right?

I mean, isn't it pretty clear for most people, even if you don't believe in God?

I mean, I have an atheist friend who I said to him, it was James Lindsay.

James, I know you don't believe in God, but I mean, I can't describe what I'm seeing

in any way other than evil.

And he's like, oh, yeah, definitely evil.

I mean, you mean evil the way I mean evil?

Yeah, definitely evil, Glenn.

I mean, even atheists can see

this isn't normal.

I think we've run through several glass patio doors

and and it's going to leave a mark.

It's scary to see people using the Bible or God to support anti-Israel or anti-Jewish ideas.

I pray it only seems to be a growing trend, but I don't think so.

When you see these things,

it's probably pretty good to stop.

After you've got you're picking the glass out of your face, you might want to stop and and go, okay,

all right, what made me do that?

What in my life

has me running through patio door after patio door?

We need to search for that.

Because I believe a God that is so powerful that can rise people from the dead.

Oh, he can't do that.

That's a myth.

Okay, well, whatever.

Have fun in your next patio door.

Those who can, a God who can raise people from the dead, I don't think spiritual death is that much of a challenge for him, you know?

I think that's something he, but he needs us to go, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Something's wrong here.

We continue in just 60 seconds standby.

You know, man's best friend comes with his own set of health needs.

If you're a dog owner, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

It's just not enough to throw some dry kibble into a bowl.

You might think you're doing the right thing.

I did for years.

But all the nutrients, all the stuff that's alive in food is cooked out of kibble food.

And your dog, his body knows it.

What you need is rough greens.

I started giving rough greens to Uno years ago, and I believe it truly added so much quality to his life.

I mean, he's going downhill quickly.

He's kind of like checked out now.

He doesn't even, you know, doorbell rings.

He's like, I ain't getting up.

I've done that long enough, buddy.

Anyway, but I believe it's extended his life, and I know it has added quality to his life because I saw the difference in him.

Rough Greens is not a dog food.

It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black.

You sprinkle it on the food.

It's the good stuff.

Folks at Rough Greens want to give you the first trial bag free just to make sure your dog likes it.

10 seconds station ID.

You know, in synagogues all over the world this week, they're reading Leviticus

12 and 13.

That's what they're studying.

And, you know, it's the fun part of the Bible.

You know, Leviticus, what a laugh.

I mean, it's just full of laughs.

This is the part of Leviticus.

It's my favorite.

It's all about skin diseases.

And

who gets enough of leprosy talk?

You know what I mean?

Leprosy, life,

all kinds of great stuff in Leviticus.

I love it.

So this is the part where he gets into

skin conditions.

Now,

usually I would go to church and I'd be reading that and I'd be like, can we skip the skin condition part?

It really kind of grosses me out just a little bit.

But is God actually talking about skin disease?

When he's talking, most Bibles say leprosy, leprosy, but it's not usually, it's probably not leprosy.

It's some other disease.

it's not the one that we know is leprosy today

now tradition holds two things one is to say that the diseases are unknown in our day because we no longer have the temple or priests that would know what they're seeing

and the message would be lost on us or

that these disorders

is a message a sign a warning that something's out of order with us on a spiritual or moral moral plane.

I don't think

Leviticus,

who was great, I love Leviticus and all of his hits.

Or Moses, who wrote Leviticus.

I don't know.

I have no idea what Leviticus even is, but it's not Gray's anatomy, you know, circa 1200 BC.

It's not.

It's not.

Contrary to what many Bible critics and some proponents would have, the laws of the Torah are not just a hygiene textbook.

A lot of people, I mean, there's a lot of washing of hands and what to eat and what not to eat.

And yeah, okay, it does have some of those, you know, physical health benefits.

That's a positive

side effect there.

But the aim is spiritual, moral, and ethical.

The priest is not a physician.

The Israelites don't come to him with just anything.

You know, it's like, i got a really bad cough and maybe just a stop touch of leprosy they don't do that they don't take out your appendix or anything else they don't even they don't even go and look my wife and i were having some problems and i wanted to talk to the mo man because i know she got pregnant when he was like what a hundred and some years old they don't talk about fertility issues priests aren't doing that

And by the way, this list is not a complete list of skin conditions.

I know I've checked.

Happily, not every skin disorder qualifies for impurity.

Nice to know, not every case of herpes means you're a sinner and a slut.

Get ready for some smiting or smoting or

maybe it's an all-smite weekend.

I don't know, but and male baldness is okay.

So, what is this all about?

Say,

I have an idea.

How about I share that with you after this super important medic?

Coming up.

So I don't mean to brag.

I don't mean to brag or boast, but

you know that I'm a doctor, right?

And not just any old doctor.

I'm a doctor of humanities, which means I believe you can ask me literally any question pertaining to humans, and I've got the answer.

I'm an expert.

I'm the wise man.

Some might even say I am the science, okay?

But even I don't know all the best practices when it comes to buying or selling a house.

Yes, and humans do that.

For that, you need a real estate agent, not just any old real estate agent.

You need one you can trust.

I started real estate agents you can trust, or it's actually real estate agents I trust, because it's always about me, me, me, brother.

You know what I mean?

Can we make this commercial more about me?

I started this company over a decade ago.

It's called Real Estate Agents I Trust because I got sick of dealing with the hassle and figured you might feel the same way.

So how do we find the ones with the best practices?

Well,

we found them.

We found the best practices and we found the people who worked their butts off to help you both buying and selling in.

And we can give you their names for free.

You just tell us where you're buying and selling.

So, reading Leviticus because it's so relatable.

Not actually reading it, but I know it's so hot.

I know it's so hot right now that I just wanted to be with the cool kids and say, yeah, I was kicking back yesterday reading some Leviticus.

Who's not, you know?

And I'm looking for some good, you know, bloodletting or ointments or leeches, you know, some of those stories, which Leviticus doesn't have any, but it's riddled with skin diseases.

And that, you know,

that's the fun part of the Bible.

And so I'm reading this and I'm like, I'm not sure

that God is actually talking about skin disease

because

have you ever heard

beauty is only skin deep?

Yeah,

yeah,

maybe leprosy is only skin deep.

So you go to the priest and

you're like, my fingers have just fallen off, so what's going on there?

And the priest isn't supposed to give any ointment or anything else.

And he doesn't declare the sufferer to be impure.

You're impure.

And you must go off from here.

He's not supposed to.

Actually,

the Hebrew uses a verb form of the word impure.

It translates as the priest will impure him.

And I thought for a while, maybe,

maybe, you know, Moses was like, did you say impure or impale?

I don't.

So what happens is

the priest, not the symptoms, confers the status of impure.

So he's saying,

he's saying that, you know,

you have to impurify yourself

because I can't do it.

He doesn't automatically impurify.

The first thing he does is he gives the patient a chance, sometimes to,

in a form of temporary quarantine, as if saying, you know what, dude?

Yeah, you got some problems.

Go examine your life.

Maybe you'll find something's out of alignment.

Maybe you need to change your direction slightly.

The pattern here is check, isolate, recheck, sometimes repeated, and then isolate for the longer term.

But even then, containment's not for life or until death, but until the disease passes, meaning until the afflicted changes his ways and restores his life to the proper track.

I think we all might have leprosy if you see what I'm saying.

So it's containment.

Hmm.

Because

like regular diseases, moral spiritual disorders are transmittable,

sometimes highly contagious.

Now this is where Leviticus really gets good.

Bad ideas.

Bad memes, they jump from person to person more easily than any virus or any disease.

Gad Saad, theory of the mind pathogens.

This, I mean, it's useful in understanding this.

Abigail

Schreier's, irreversible damage,

provides a detailed, applied, and only too current case in point.

Hey, maybe there's something going on here with our kids.

We could look at the news and observe how bad ideas are spreading like a plague until they're societal norms.

Pick a domain.

Pick a topic.

I think you can see it.

It's there to see.

That's leprosy.

From this angle,

maybe suddenly everything starts to make sense.

Repeatedly,

the priests are told, look for afflictions reaching deeper or lower than the skin.

Literally,

not only skin deep.

We're looking to help with something much deeper than that.

And sometimes, whatever that is, leaves a mark on you.

Why would it leave a mark on you?

Well, because maybe this is something you should remember.

spreading

afflictions not spreading.

That's an okay thing.

But really not good enough because evil is never content to remain in place.

It always wants more.

It always seeks to spread further.

Think of addiction, pornography, greed, power.

Think of

cookies being

and the devil being cookie monster.

Cookies!

Always hungry for more cookies.

And if cookies were evil and we are cookie monster, cookies,

we always seek more.

So here's something that we don't say every day.

Wow, I wish there were some things kind of like leprosy that we would see on the skin, some visible, readable sign telling us, hey, that person's really sick.

Maybe there are signs like that.

Huh.

Are there any signs that we might point to in today's world that says, hey,

I think this society is really, really sick.

Now, I can't think of any

because I think we're doing great.

I can't see any other way to live.

But then again, maybe,

maybe some things are out of alignment in our world.

Might be worth some time just to take a closer look at yourself and I'll take a look at myself.

See where we might have come across maybe the wrong pathogen, you know,

even without the physical symptoms, and we can be reasonably certain that some of today's spiritual pathogens do have them.

We also have the ability to diagnose ourselves.

Have we forgotten who we are?

Have we forgotten why we're here?

Do we even know why we're here?

Have we forgotten who we are supposed to be?

Who we wanted to be?

Who we hoped to be?

I know I promised myself I was going to be a fireman.

Look at me now.

I have never fought a fire.

Okay, I don't mean it that way.

Have we turned away from our charge or our purpose?

Have we taken a path leading us further away from God in pursuit of whatever the current cause is, the current idol or the current desire?

Because

if so,

we have exactly what we need to treat ourselves

and God willing to cure ourselves.

And you will find it in the book,

the Book of Skin Diseases.

Maybe we should go back to looking at some of those safety tips

that the Mo Man gave us from the mountain on how to live our lives,

how to find and accomplish our purpose,

get closer to God,

maybe isolate ourselves just a little bit for a while,

and get away from all the deadly pathogens that are seemingly swarming the world right now.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

So there is a hearing happening on Capitol Hill right now that I think is worth our time, kind of pay attention to today.

You know who Catherine Herridge is?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Journalist.

Yeah.

Generally with the Pentagon

and,

you know, national security.

She's been.

She worked for Fox for a long time.

And then she went to CBS.

Well, the government,

she had some sources on some things about the president.

This one?

Catherine Herridge.

Yeah.

Yeah.

This president, though.

Yeah, this president.

And

CBS fired her because the FBI said, we want to know your sources.

And she said, no.

I did read something about that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So now

she spent time in jail because she won't.

They did put her in jail for that?

Yeah, they put her in jail for that.

Now she is sitting

and she's about to testify.

Here's Chip Roy opening up the hearing just a couple of minutes ago.

We have it.

Journalist Steve Baker, who was reporting from the U.S.

Capitol building on January 6th on the events that took place inside the Capitol.

We also recently saw a federal court order, investigative journalist Catherine Harridge, to identify a confidential source and then hold her in contempt when she exercised her First Amendment right to maintain the source's confidentiality.

First Amendment advocates on both sides of the aisle have warned that government actions such as this could have devastating consequences for a free press.

Around that same time, CBS News terminated Ms.

Herridge's employment and took unprecedented actions in regards to her belongings, including source materials.

CBS News officials reportedly boxed up and seized some of the materials in her office, including her investigative files and laptop computer, with the intent to search through items to segregate materials Ms.

Herridge developed or worked on for CBS News.

CBS News planned search through Ms.

Herridge's materials threatened to trample upon her First Amendment rights and could have divulged confidential sources stemming from her previous work with other networks.

Along those same lines, we have also seen the federal governments seek to impermissibly shape news stories, even coercing social media companies to censor and remove content on their platforms relating to foreign influence peddling by the President and his family.

Today's hearing is about defending our fundamental liberty and protecting journalists and their sources from these attacks.

We will examine the federal government's infringement on the freedom of the press and examine the prospects for a federal shield law.

On July 19th, 2023,

the House Committee on the Judiciary with a vote of 23 to 0,

that doesn't often happen in the House Judiciary Committee, 23 to 0,

favorably reported on the Protect Reports from

Exploitative State Spying, or Press Act.

In January of this year, the full House passed the Press Act by a voice vote.

The Press Act was written to prohibit the federal government from compelling journalists to identify a source, as well as any records, contents, of a communication, documents, or information obtained or created by journalists in the course of their work.

The significance of the Press Act cannot be understated.

It ensures a free press.

independent from an executive branch that seeks to attack or harass journalists in order to identify their confidential sources.

Now that the House has done its job and stood up to fight for for the freedom of the press, it is now the Senate's turn to take up this legislation to continue Congress's commitment to protecting our fundamental freedoms, our

constitutional guarantee if a free press is under attack.

It is our job to stand up for that right and protect journalists and their sources.

I look forward to hearing from all of our distinguished witnesses today who will all bring unique personal and professional perspectives to this important issue.

Please note that a joint schedule of Congress is scheduled for 11 o'clock a.m.

and the committee will recess for the duration of that session and gavel back in shortly after.

I now yield to the ranking member for her opening.

I don't know.

I think this is something that every American should care about, every press person.

But you'll notice for the first time, I think,

maybe ever, a hearing on freedom of the press defending one of their own, a CBS reporter.

There isn't a single cable news network that's covering this.

It's incredible.

What's happening with that?

Wow.

That is incredible.

Yeah, we're, I tell you, and for CBS to just summarily fire her

and then confiscate her stuff, which they're obviously turning over to the government.

Yeah, not just that doesn't happen.

It doesn't happen.

Wow.

By the way, there was a FISA vote yesterday, and for the life of me, like six of us stood in the hallway yesterday trying to read and go, what the hell just happened?

We have no idea.

Massey just tweeted something.

Many people have been misled today.

There was not a vote on the FISA bill.

There was a vote on the resolution that would have allowed FISA, as well as six amendments to it, including a warrant requirement amendment and other pieces of legislation, to come to the floor.

Partisan procedural votes like this, Democrats

reflexively vote no.

Republicans typically typically vote yes.

19 Republicans voted with all the Democrats to stop everything from coming onto the floor today, including the warrant amendment to FISA.

Many of us who are adamantly opposed to warrantless surveillance voted for the resolution, wanting to get a recorded vote on warrants and recognizing the Speaker otherwise can suspend the rules and bring anything to the floor without a resolution like he did with the omnibus.

Tactically, whether the 19 did the best thing or not

is to be determined.

They may have just stopped our only chance to have a vote on whether the government needs a warrant to spy on you.

So there's the Fourth Amendment.

Today, they're talking about the First Amendment.

How many more amendments

have to be under direct attack?

Before the American people say, wait a minute, wait a minute, the Bill of Rights is important.

By the way, day before yesterday,

Joe Biden said he's going to take more administrative actions to take away your guns.

The Glenn Beck program.

Let me tell you about rough greens.

Pat,

you eat rough greens.

Well,

my dog does, yes.

Yeah, but tell me.

Yes.

Jackie's gone for a week.

There's nothing else in the house.

You know, I think that's one thing I feel like it was specifically designed for dogs.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

Two weeks.

She's gone for two weeks.

I'm still just giving that to my dog.

She loves it, though.

Yeah.

She won't eat it.

She won't eat anything without it.

Jackie and the dog both love it.

Yeah.

So I have a huge German Shepherd.

Pat has like a little squeak toy doll.

Yes.

yes.

That's true.

A glorified rat, really.

Yeah, really, really.

Yeah, she loves it.

She loves it.

She does.

Uno loves it.

They go crazy for it.

And I think it makes a difference in their health and just

the way that they behave.

It's just crazy.

It's Rough Greens.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Hell hello, you sick twisted freak.

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

We're glad you're here.

We've got a serious hearing going on in Washington, D.C.

right now now about freedom of the press.

Catherine Heridge is speaking and testifying in front of Congress on what she's going through right now.

It's another huge violation of the First Amendment.

But

what's new, pussycat?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

All right.

We're going to...

Don't look at me like that, Sarah.

Sarah, who is our in-studio producer, is

giving me a dirty look.

Okay.

I get it.

Well, let me break for 60 seconds and reset.

Uh, she threw me.

She threw me.

All right, exactly how far into emergency situation do you have to get before you think to yourself, gee, you know that Glenn Beck guy was right.

I guess I should have prepared for this.

Because if the answer is right around the time I find myself stuck in a mile-long line stretching around the corner from the grocery store just to get some food, you might have waited too long.

So here's what you should do: your first step, mypatriotsupply.com.

Stock up on multiple one-week emergency food kits this week only.

They're priced under $50.

Pat Gray is joining me today from Pat Gray Unleashed, sitting in for

Stuberge, who is off on assignment, as they like to say in the news biz.

We have Catherine Eridge.

Is she testifying?

She's starting to testify and answer some questions here.

Thank you, Ms.

Herridge.

Ms.

Cavallaro, you may begin.

Good morning.

Thank you, Committee Chairman Jordan, Subcommittee Chairman Roy, Committee Ranking Member Nadler, Subcommittee Ranking Member Scanlon.

Oh, my gosh.

And distinguished members of this subcommittee.

There's nobody distinguished in that room.

My name is Mary Cavallero.

I serve as the Chief Broadcast Officer for SAGAFTRA, a national union of over 160,000 members that represents professionals in the entertainment and media industries.

I am responsible for overseeing the union's collective bargaining agreements with our news and broadcast employers across the country.

I was invited here today for the purpose of providing testimony in support of the most basic of First Amendment principles.

Okay, so in case you don't know what's going on and you're thinking to yourself, my gosh, this is boring.

There's got to be something else I can listen to.

Let me jump in here and say, no, no, not so hasty.

What she's about to testify on is how the union had to step in because CBS just fired Catherine Aridge, took all of her

records, including her confidential file on confidential sources, which the government is trying to get her to cough up, and she won't.

So she loses her job.

They take all of her stuff and

the union had to stand up and say, hey, maybe we shouldn't do this.

You ever seen a case where the news organization did not support its journalist for not giving up a source?

I don't know.

I've never seen that before.

Never, never, never, never, never.

It doesn't happen.

It's unreal.

Right.

And especially to the government.

You're going to give up the source to the government?

Yeah.

That's really dangerous precedent.

It was a whistleblower,

and

she's expected to tell the government who the person is that's saying, hey, the government's doing bad things.

No.

No.

No.

And she stuck to it and went to jail even.

Yeah, as a result of that.

They've held her in contempt,

which is weird because it seems the Justice Department only holds people in contempt and then pursues sending them to jail if you're against the Biden administration.

All right, so let's go ahead and strengthen

this freedom by safeguarding journalists and their confidential sources.

The Press Act creates a federal statutory privilege to shield journalists from being compelled to reveal their confidential sources and prevents federal law enforcement agencies from abusing subpoena power to access journalist email and phone phone records.

This long overdue legislation represents a significant leap forward, not just for journalists, but for the sanctity of journalism itself and for the constitutional right to freedom of the press.

SAG AFTRA stands in solidarity with journalists, their employers, and press advocacy groups who share the common

horse on the highway.

Let me just tell you one other thing that I've never seen before.

This is

conservatives

are the ones that are standing up

for the Press Act.

They're standing up and saying we need to protect

freedom of the press.

And

it's the progressives that are standing up going, no, I'm not so fast here.

The press is America's watchdog.

When did we switch?

Are we playing musical chairs?

When did the music stop and we're all sitting in different chairs?

This was over her investigation

of depriving the American people of critical information.

The FBI's investigation of a scientist

ties to China.

China.

Remember that?

Yes.

China.

Now, why

would

the FBI

want who the whistleblower is

that's blowing the whistle on

spying stuff from Jeda?

Interesting.

Why?

Hmm.

Who do we know has does the Jedi doing all kinds of Jedi's favors for Jeddah?

Who do we know?

Who do we know?

I can't think of anybody.

Okay, who's this third person?

Countless news stories that I broke, or facets of them, could not have been reported.

Oh, that's

a good question.

Enron, BP oil spill, TARP bank bailout, follow the money investigations on taxpayers' spending, congressional oversight, congressional fundraising, prescription, drug, and vaccine dangers, Haiti earthquake aid, K-Street lobbying, green energy failures, waste and fraud at the Red Cross, Firestone Tires,

both of them are

former CBS.

Thanks to some information provided by sources.

Cheryl was with CBS as well, right?

And she walks away because she says

CBS

has gone corrupt stories.

And it's fair to argue that a lot of important facts would never have been exposed if journalists couldn't ensure protection of our sensitive sources' identities.

Today's managed information landscape makes it more difficult difficult for journalists and our sources to report on ethical lapses, wrongdoing, and crimes.

More often than not, the truth teller, when named, is smeared and ruined while the wrongdoers carry on.

They escape accountability and may even get promoted.

They've seen what's happened to Assange and Snowden, their earth-shattering revelations quickly eclipsed by organized efforts to distract by controversializing them.

So it makes sense to ask, what's the impact if we can no longer assure our sources that we can protect their identities.

It's not a new concern.

Years ago, after adverse court decisions started coming down on this front, I was at CBS and we began having to consider whether a confidential source in a story would be okay with ultimately having his identity revealed if a judge ordered it.

Obviously, the answer was often no.

I could no longer provide assurances to a whistleblower who feared for his career or safety that I could guarantee protection of his identity.

Some stories still got done, but many became non-starters.

There's no way to quantify with any certainty what we've lost, but I don't think there are many investigative reporters who would say it's not having an impact.

There are ideas to help, such as the Press Act that would generally bar federal agencies from forcing telecommunications firms to turn over records belonging to journalists.

But it's important to note that some of the most egregious intrusions on press freedoms don't happen that way.

Our intelligence agencies have been working.

Pardon me.

Listen to

this firsthand.

Our intelligence agencies have been working hand in hand with telecommunications firms for decades with billions of dollars in dark contracts and secretive arrangements.

They don't need to ask for permission to access journalists' records or those of Congress or regular citizens.

Current efforts to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act relate to this.

There's a lengthy record of government surveillance abuses to be found in just the little we've been able to learn about.

Intelligence officials have misled Congress about surveilling U.S.

citizens, even spying on journalists and political figures, their staff, and allies.

It's been a known problem for decades.

An Inspector General report in 2020 found the FBI violated Woods procedure safeguards in every single wiretap audited.

Pardon me.

In just 29 FISA applications were dude.

I just have to show you.

This is absolutely incredible.

Can you take the camera from behind me, please, Stephen, in the control room?

Okay.

I don't know if you can see up at that monitor,

but they're now showing on Blaze TV an inside shot of what I see all the time.

Thank you.

There's a shot of the monitor, and it shows

four different

news

agencies.

It shows in front of me all the time is CNN, Fox News, CNBC, and MSNBC.

Not one of them is covering this.

So we are talking about freedom of the press.

Qualified, unbelievably respected journalists who are not

right.

They have been fair, and I've always thought Catherine was

at least in the middle,

if not a little left.

Haven't you?

I think everybody feels that way about it.

Yeah.

Okay.

So she's credible, but she doesn't agree with me, I'm sure.

And

that's one of their own.

And none of them are covering this.

And why are we covering it?

Because they won't.

You wouldn't even know this happened today.

You know, this is if a tree falls in a forest and nobody's around to hear it, did it really happen?

Their answer would be no.

If they don't tell you about Hunter Biden and what's going on,

it didn't happen.

If they don't tell you about what's happening now in Congress and what they're actually wrestling with,

it didn't happen.

If we weren't here yesterday to tell you what was going on with the FISA

vote, you wouldn't have known about it.

You tell me if you are somebody who

votes differently than me and

doesn't agree with me all the time.

But you listen, first of all, thank you for having an open mind.

Thank you.

But even you have got to be able to see this and say, something's seriously wrong.

There are really important things.

This is about the First Amendment, the First Amendment, freedom of press.

If you don't have freedom of press, you don't have freedom.

So, this is about freedom of press, the First Amendment.

Yesterday was about the violation, again, both of them by the government, the violation of the Fourth Amendment.

I'm trying to find where we have the Biden

clip.

I think it was in yesterday's, where he was talking about Trump,

where he was saying that Trump is, you know, because Trump comes out and he says, look, they're going to come after your guns.

They're going to come after your guns.

And do you have the audio of Biden responding to that?

Listen to this.

What, in your view, constitutes the primary threat to freedom and democracy at home?

Donald Trump.

Seriously.

Donald Trump talking uses phrases like, you're going to

eviscerate the Constitution.

He's going to be a dictator on day one.

Well, say whatever you want, but eviscerating the Constitution, that's being done right now.

That's being done right now.

The clip I was looking for, I don't remember when it was, so you might not be able to find it, but it was

Donald Trump talking about, you know, they're going to come for the guns.

They're coming for the Second Amendment.

And Joe Biden mocking that and then saying he's going to take more executive action against guns.

So, yes, he is going to take away some guns through executive action.

That's the Second Amendment.

So, in one week, we have the first, the second, and the fourth.

You skip over the third because that's about quartering soldiers at people's houses.

Back in just a minute.

I don't know if you saw yesterday,

but

the CPI numbers came out, and they're not good.

They're not good.

That means inflation is up.

And there's a story here from CBS News.

The war against inflation was never going to be easy.

Wait a minute.

That's the first line.

Wait a minute.

You have a problem with that line from CBS, Pat?

Yes.

Yeah.

Why?

Yeah.

Well, they're forming an opinion on and telling us the opinion we should hold on on a news story.

Why is it okay?

So the war against inflation was never going to be easy.

Let me tell you something.

That's a new opinion for them, is it not?

Sure is.

Yeah, that's a new one.

It sure is.

It used to be there is no inflation.

Yeah.

Or inflation is transitory, which means you just live with it for a while and it goes away.

Now they admit the war against inflation was never going to be easy, but the latest numbers in the Consumer Price Index demonstrates just how tough the fight of a fight the Federal Reserve is facing.

So prices went up again, and I want you to look at this as tax.

You know, inflation is called a hidden tax.

Imagine if I told you I'm running for president or Congress, and I told you I'm going to make your food 25%

more expensive because I'm putting a 25% tax on your food.

Would you vote for that person?

The answer is no, right?

We have a 25%

inflation invisible tax that you are paying because of

what our government is currently doing, the policies that our government is putting into places.

This kills me.

The Fed's ongoing campaign to tame inflation is far from over.

Now, there's two main factors, CBS points out, contributing to stronger than expected inflation.

One, gasoline prices, and two, rent.

Raising prices at the pump, partly doing growing U.S.

demand.

They're saying that we're just getting so rich, we're wanting more.

No, there's two parts of a price: demand

and

supply.

Which one's been cut?

All right.

Anyway, I got to stop.

Look, you're being lied to everywhere.

10 seconds, station ID.

All right.

We have two more minutes.

Are they asking questions yet?

Here's Catherine.

She's speaking.

But with all of the travail that you've been dragged through by the government, has anybody been within the government been held accountable

for these acts against you and your freedom?

Congressman, based on my experience, I feel that we're in a very dangerous place as journalists.

I'm facing crippling fines, up to $800 a day for protecting my confidential sources.

I'm fortunate that that has been stayed pending the appeal.

Who's responsible for that, though?

I mean, who are the actors within the government that are waging war against the freedom of individual journalists like yourself

to report the facts that the American people need to form their own opinions?

If you're referring to my particular case, I want to be respectful of the ongoing litigation.

It's in front of the appellate court I want to emphasize that I am only a witness in that case let me ask you this has anybody been held accountable for for for the for these acts against you

no okay ms atkisson what's you what's your uh experience well i think it's interesting to hear people say and i agree with this that the government should not be intervening in news coverage but in my experience at cbs that happens every day Members of committees, heads of committees, members of Congress in the White House call the Bureau in Washington, D.C., contacts that they have, editors and managers up in New York to try to shape our coverage.

Well, that I don't find particularly objectionable is

as long as there is no force or threat of force behind that.

Do you find that to be the case?

I don't know what was said.

I just know they called.

There's no physical force threatened, but there certainly is a great deal of pressure.

I think you're getting the impression, if you're not, you're half listening.

We are entering very, very dangerous times, and all of our rights are at stake, and it's being decided right now.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

We want to give you

Catherine Heridge and her testimony regarding freedom of the press and what she's gone through in a hearing in Washington currently going on.

As you know, in February, I was held in contempt of court for refusing to disclose my confidential sources on a national security story.

I think my current situation can help put the importance of the Press Act into context.

One of our children recently asked me if I would go to jail, if we would lose our house, and if we would lose our family savings to protect my reporting sources.

I wanted to answer that in this United States, where we say we value democracy and the role of a vibrant and free press, that it was impossible, but I could not offer that assurance.

The Bipartisan Press Act, which came out of this House committee, would put an end to the sort of legal jeopardy that I have experienced firsthand in the federal courts.

And without the legislation, more journalists will run the uncertainty of the contempt gauntlet in the future.

This legislation will provide protections for every working journalist in the United States now and for the next generation.

The legislation provides strong protections at the federal level for reporters and their sources.

It would block litigants and federal government from prying into a reporter's files except when there's an imminent threat of violence, including terrorism and in defamation cases.

At the state level, similar rules are already in place to protect press freedom.

It is my sincere hope that the passage of the Press Act will provide similar protections at the federal level.

I hope that I am the last journalist who has to spend two years in the federal courts fighting to protect my confidential sources.

My current situation arises from a Privacy Act lawsuit.

I am only a witness in the case.

It is not common for these cases to reach the stage of holding a reporter in contempt, but when such cases happen, they have profound consequences, impacting every journalist in the United States.

Forcing a reporter to disclose confidential sources would have a crippling effect on investigative journalism because without reliable assurances of confidentiality, sources will not come forward.

The First Amendment provides protections for the press because an informed electorate is at the foundation of our democracy.

If confidential forces are not protected, I fear investigative journalism is dead.

Each day, I feel the weight of that responsibility.

As you know, I was held in contempt of court for upholding the basic journalistic principle of maintaining the pledge of confidentiality to my sources.

I have complete respect for the federal court and the judicial process, and I'm not here to litigate the case.

It will play out before the appellate court in Washington, D.C.

But the fact that I have been fighting in the courts for two years and that I am now facing potentially crippling fines of $800 a day to protect my reporting sources underscores the vital importance of the Press Act.

When you go through major life events as I have in recent weeks, losing your job, losing your company health insurance, having your reporting files seized by your former employer and being held in contempt of court gives you clarity.

The First Amendment, the protection of confidential sources and a free press are my guiding principles.

They are my North Star.

When I was laid off in February, an incident reinforced in my mind the importance of protecting confidential sources.

CBS News locked me out of the building and seized hundreds of pages of my reporting files, including confidential source information.

Multiple sources said they were concerned that by working with me to expose government corruption and misconduct, they would be identified and exposed.

I pushed back, and with the public support of my union, SAG AFTRA, the records were returned.

CBS's News' decision to receive my reporting records crossed a red line that I believe should never be crossed again by any media organization in the future.

The litigation.

Let me tell you,

we are facing a...

Let me just start here.

The Committee on Un-American Activities, was that a good thing or a bad thing?

I think it's perceived as a bad thing.

The way it was done was a bad thing.

Was a bad thing.

Yeah.

Okay.

Actually going and finding, but and going out and

arresting people for what they believed, et cetera, et cetera.

Not a good thing.

Not a good thing.

Not a good thing.

Firing people because they happen to be a communist.

Not a good thing.

And not just because they're a communist.

Hollywood would have kept them going.

It was the government leaning on them and saying, you know what?

Who else?

Who else?

Maybe you're a communist.

We all know that was wrong.

There's going to come a time very soon, I think,

of when everybody knows this is wrong.

Everybody knows.

You're on the wrong side of history.

And it used to be hard to say that because

you just don't, it wasn't as as clear as it is right now

but everything that we're seeing going on

you are on the wrong side of history now George Soros's number two guy met with my number two guy years ago

and delivered what I regard and and everybody who was part of this regard as a threat It is the reason why I did the Puppet Master three-day series on George Soros, because on the advice of a very good friend,

and he knew George Soros, when he said,

he said to me, wait, tell me the story again, because I was calling him for some advice.

And

he said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You got to get on the air right away.

And you have to make everybody understand that you are the number one

target from George Soros, that you are his main enemy, because there's only safety in the spotlight.

And so that's why I exposed him as much as I did.

They were trying to get me to back off.

And

the word that was given to one of the guys who worked with me, he was an executive vice president at the time, Joel Cheatwood.

He was told by the Soros, you know, number two guy, that your boss is hurting my boss, and this is going to end.

And you need to send your boss that message.

He's going to stop doing this.

And Joel Cheatwood said,

no, I know my boss, and I don't think he's going to stop.

And then it was said,

the ship

is about to set sail.

And you're either on the ship or you're not.

But there's no turning back.

You will be left behind.

And Joel said to him, well, I'm pretty sure my boss would rather be standing on the dock.

So.

Here's the thing.

They believe

that

everything is a done deal.

They believe that this ship has already sailed, that we are just holding on to old antiquated ideas, and a new world order is coming.

You don't want to be on that ship.

That ship is a very dangerous ship that is just riddled with pathogens.

It's riddled with evil.

It's riddled with just horrible ideas that have been discredited for centuries.

The principles that will last, and I don't know how long it's going to take, if we lose them, as Ronald Reagan said, the generation that loses them will never see them regained again.

Let's not have that be us.

We are very, very close to losing them.

They think they're winning.

I think they're scared.

I think they're terrified.

Why else would they be going after Catherine Aridge?

Why would you

one person one Chinese spy was found?

She has the source that pointed the finger and said, he's a Chinese spy.

He's infiltrated us.

Why would our government, A, not want to stop Chinese spies?

When?

When?

Okay,

why would our government not want to do that?

Who has enough power to tell the Justice Department, go after them?

I want to know who that source is.

For what reason?

To punish them for blowing the whistle on a Chinese spy?

Hmm.

They think

they're going to win,

but they are also terrified because the elections are happening all over the world.

We're going to see what happens in Europe.

Now, Europe doesn't have, I mean, they had

Russell Brand, but have you heard much from Russell Brand?

They have just decimated Russell Brand.

He was everywhere, and he was the voice of waking people up on the World Economic Forum, et cetera, et cetera, all across Europe.

And people were waking up.

Well, they destroyed him.

Destroyed Destroyed him.

They can't afford to have people wake up at this point

because they know the minute you truly wake up, it's over.

It's over.

You're not going to allow them to take away your rights.

There is a

special we did last night that I really want you to watch.

It's up on YouTube.

You can get it on Blaze TV now.

We're going to talk about it next hour and give you some of the things that we spoke about.

But

it is

you're about to lose the republic.

How do you know when you're a banana republic,

when your politicians can go in as a bus driver and leave as one of the richest people in the country?

Right?

When you have

When you have politicians go in as an average person and leave as multi-millionaires,

something's wrong.

We're either going to solve this quickly or we're going to die a quick death.

The Republic will be over soon.

But it'll be up to us.

And the only thing we need to do is inform ourselves, inform our friends, and then stand up for what you know to be true.

You know it's not right to have the press

have the government come after them because they want the source of the whistleblower that blew the whistle on a Chinese spy.

That's not political.

That's not left-right.

That's not Democrat-Republican.

That's a Chinese spy.

You know that's not right.

More in just a minute.

Convenience of the modern American life sometimes complicates our efforts to maintain our values.

For instance, it wasn't that long ago, if you wanted to have a good cell phone coverage, you had to go with the big boys, companies like Verizon, and you didn't have really any choice.

They could do whatever they want.

They could donate to, you know, Planned Parenthood, and you didn't like it.

Sucks to be you.

That's not America.

That's not competition.

Right now, there's Patriot Mobile.

That's competition.

They share our values.

They're America's only Christian, conservative, wireless provider.

Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

They offer dependable nationwide coverage so you can access any of the three major networks that everybody's on.

But you...

You don't have to worry that you're overpaying and that all your money is going to fund leftist causes.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

This is going to be one of those times right now in the next few seconds when you hear what I'm about to say that you will remember where you were, where you heard it.

It's, you know, it's, you know, it's like Kennedy.

O.J.

Simpson has died from cancer.

76.

At 9.53

Central Time.

April 11th, year of our Lord 2024.

O.J.

Simpson dead.

Wow.

You'll always remember where you were when you heard it.

I was sitting in Stu's chair.

Yeah.

I was sitting right here.

Already I'm talking about it.

Right.

Where were you?

Where were you's Stew's chair.

When you first heard it.

Actually, I was laying on the floor because your back is in a lot of pain.

So I was actually laying on the floor there for a moment.

You remember?

Yeah, I remember.

I do.

And it was moments.

You're minutes ago already.

Yeah.

So

he still hasn't forgotten where he was when he found O.J.

Sim.

I'm having a hard time feeling bad?

Bad.

Just because he slaughtered two people?

Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, I do feel bad that he had to spend most of his life on the golf course looking for the real killer.

Yeah.

I don't know what led him to believe that the real killer was a golfer.

I don't know.

I don't.

But man, he was searching those golf courses for it.

Maybe he was hiding in a hole or something.

You know what's really sad is I

loved O.J.

Simpson.

I loved.

Everyone

loved O.J.

Simpson.

It didn't matter.

Black, white, anything.

Didn't matter.

Everybody loved O.J.

Simpson.

Yep.

He was, in a way,

kind of.

I mean, he was not as serious, taken as seriously as this, but he he was kind of like a Tom Hanks where everybody just loved him.

Yeah, yeah, they did.

Yeah.

And imagine Tom Hanks suddenly slaughtering two people.

You'd be like, wow, I did not see that.

Did you see that coming?

Oh, I did not.

So keep your eye on Tom Hanks, okay?

Right?

I think that's what we're supposed to learn from this.

What's our takeaway today?

You're not going to get that opinion anywhere else.

I'll tell you that.

Wait, Tom Hanks attorney is on the phone

so anyway i didn't even know he had cancer uh but uh

may god have mercy on his soul oj simpson uh dead at 76.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Well, hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

O.J.

Simpson,

still dead.

Still dead.

We got word about 15 minutes ago that has not changed.

Dead at the age of 76.

We're going to be answering the question:

too soon?

Is it too soon to joke about OJ Simpson?

We're going to try to answer that question.

I don't think it is, do you?

I think you've already answered the question, frankly.

Well, no, I think the jury might still be out.

Might still be out

on that one.

But we also have James Polis on.

He is the Blaze Media editor-at-large, host of Zero Hour, and

he is also the

main guy, the host of Bought and Paid For, How Politicians Get Filthy Rich.

It premiered last night.

It is really stunning information, and we're the only ones that are doing this story.

There's a couple of people online that have really worked years on this information, but nobody really is paying attention.

But you want to know why.

Hang on just a second.

Just,

yes, just news.

Okay, I'm sorry to interrupt myself, but O.J.

Simpson, still

dead at this age of 60.

Still like 25 minutes?

Yeah, it hadn't even been that long, though, but still dead, still dead.

Anyway, more

this information.

If you want to understand why they're all hanging around when they're 86 years old,

you'll understand in the next couple of minutes.

James Polis joins us in 60 seconds.

Sure,

making the decision to shoot somebody isn't something to be taken lightly.

You know, I don't even know if, well, he didn't shoot anybody.

Do you think O.J.

Simpson took cutting their heads off lightly?

Yes.

You do.

I do, yeah.

I do.

He did.

Okay.

All right.

Well.

If there's somebody threatening you, your family, maybe you're just going to deliver ice cream,

and you don't, you know, you don't want to shoot somebody because you're in California, let's say.

I just...

Brentwood, just coming just off the top of my head.

Ooh, I didn't mean to say top of my head.

But anyway, so you're just delivering ice cream.

You don't have a gun because you live in California.

You know, maybe a little tear gas would be good.

You know, maybe a few kinetic rounds.

Now, these are less than lethal because I figured out the way to make them lethal.

I think you just shoot people in the eye.

Because that probably would, that might kill you.

Might kill you.

You know, your mom always said it'll put an eye out.

Well, I think a burnt launcher could do that.

I don't recommend you try it, but, you know, it's not right for everybody.

Let's just say that.

If you really need to stop somebody in their tracks, up to 60 feet, you could fire one of these things and you hit within five, six feet of them, and it'll hit the tear gas, and they're incapacitated for 40 minutes.

It's Burna.

BYRNA.com/slash Glenn.

These guys are shooters.

They believe in the Second Amendment.

They fight for it.

But this is a less than lethal option that you should have.

James, how are you, sir?

Hey, Glenn, how are you?

Good.

That was a great documentary

that you were a part of last night.

Well, I appreciate that.

What was the, what is the,

if you had to tell somebody in one fact,

what do you think the fact is that makes people go, whoa,

what?

Well, you know, there are so many to choose from.

I mean, I guess, you know, if

for most Americans, wars, pandemics, these things are not business opportunities.

They're not opportunities to make some quick cash.

But the reality is that in Congress,

if you're sitting up there on the hill, you can take advantage of those opportunities, and people do.

You know, Nancy Pelosi always says, I don't, no, I don't, I don't, I have nothing to do with the, the, you know, the, the investments in my life.

It's my husband.

He's, he's just a great investor.

He's like a world-class, never-seen-before kind of investor to do what they're doing,

what they do with their money, right?

Well, yeah, I mean, it seems pretty clear what's going on.

It's tough, though, because the evidentiary standards for proving something like, you know, quote-unquote insider trading, they're very difficult to meet.

And the reality is, yeah, for them, if you have that kind of inside information and you have a sense of what's going to happen before it does and what stocks are going to pop before anyone else does, you know, yeah, it's fairly clear that you're not supposed to then start making trades, but you can, you know, you can say a kind word to a family member, to a staff member, to relatives of a staff member.

And there's really nothing legally to stop them from taking action on that.

So it's a system that's ripe for abuse.

There's a couple of things here.

Let me play a cut seven here.

This is George Santos exposing how the congressional leaders silence opposition and what would happen to Congress if, you know, people started actually looking into their stock trading.

Listen.

I'm thinking, I want to go sign on to Abigail Spamberger's bill on individual stock trading.

I was told that if I signed, co-sponsored a bill and made too much voluminous

flair over it, that I wouldn't be seated.

So I shut up.

Who told you that?

I had staff from the majority, from leadership, tell me that to my face on the house floor.

Like the threats that fly around are just absolutely insane.

My very first classified briefing, which I unfortunately can't tell you guys for obvious reasons, unless you guys want me being tried, then you'd have to kill me.

Or I'd be tried for treason.

Maybe both.

Both, right?

But

it becomes a real issue because you hear this information and instantly like, oh, wow, I know this before the country.

If that level of scrutiny that you received in Congress was applied to anyone else in that building or the people who are at the top of both parties, what do you think would have happened to them?

You'd be running 535 special elections today

if they were real.

If they applied the same level of scrutiny to me, you'd vacate the whole god building.

Why was George Santos selected to be the one who talked to you?

Well, Glenn, it's pretty simple, really.

We reached out to just about everyone

who is involved or might be involved, whether in a good way or a bad way, with these kinds of trading practices.

And

we were stonewalled.

Ro Kana, Rep.

Ro Khanna,

seemed like he might be interested.

He played FTSE with us, ghosted us.

A A bunch of other people, including the sponsor, co-sponsor of that bill that George Santos mentioned there, co-sponsor with Chip Roy, who we did talk to.

We got him

in the dock.

Everyone else, just a big nope.

So it was fascinating.

I mean, Matt Gates,

George Santos, you know, these guys are considered mavericks or worse by a lot of even Republicans.

But, you know, when those are the only guys who are willing to speak to you, it's because there's a code of silence silence just about it.

It's like an Omerta, and it's very tough to penetrate.

So, you know, we were very grateful to be able to get the inside scoop from those guys because

they have been through fire and they are willing to say what others aren't.

Here is Matt Gates from the special last night.

Congressman Gates offered to take us on a tour.

So one of the committees where people have a lot of information is the Appropriations Committee because they can view almost any vector of government funding.

And so, you know, this is Mr.

Rutherford's office.

He's on the Ethics Committee and the Appropriations Committee.

152 stock trades.

Stocks go through the roof and, you know, actually bought Raytheon stock the day that Russia invaded Ukraine.

Yeah, that's a big one.

Yeah.

Imagine if every American could make money off of war.

Yeah, setting aside the whole shame and ethics questions.

How many more on our hit list here?

There are a few more.

I wish there were fewer on the hit list.

I wish we could only stop at one or two offices, but as it turns out,

so energy is a sector that sees a lot of congressional stock trading.

Sure.

And we have members who are on the Energy Subcommittee of Appropriations, like Michael Guest, chairman of the ethics committee, and he's traded somewhere between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy stocks.

He's been buying online gaming stocks and just making a killing on them.

So you would think that the people people that were on the ethics committee would be your best allies in this fight, but indeed they're some of the most prolific traders.

And not only trading, but in the case of Mr.

Guest, trading in an area where he has access to energy information more so than almost any other American.

And no indication that he wants to maybe slow down, pump the brakes, recognize that there might be some appearance of impropriety here.

It seems as though the pace is only accelerating.

So, so

let me

go back to a bigger point, James.

What does this say about why these people are hanging out so long in Congress?

Why they just never seem to retire?

Well, look, you know, I asked George Santos when he first got an inkling of how much

patronage,

how much of an insider's club.

and how much potential for corruption there was when he was in Congress.

And he said basically day one, first briefing.

You sit down, they give you information.

You know, he said it was eye-popping, and he realized suddenly the intensity of what he was dealing with.

I mean, look, you know, you heard Congressman Gates pointing out that you got guys on the ethics committee, chair of the ethics committee in Congress, and they're setting standards.

You know, it's a domino effect.

You spend a few minutes on the hill as an elected rep, and you come to understand very quickly that

there is a choice.

Are you on team or are you off team?

And this goes beyond just Republicans and Democrat.

This goes to the heart of what is it that we're really doing here and how do we protect our ability as public officials to avail ourselves of the advantages of being insiders in that system.

It is a system that, you know, that really works as designed in that sense.

And it's designed to keep people hanging around, taking advantage of what they can in whatever way they can for as long as they can.

One of my very good friends is Mike Lee.

And Mike tells me all the time, what the hell am I doing here?

I am impoverishing myself.

I could be out making a good living.

And, you know, in his times of

frustration, he'll call me up.

What am I doing?

Why am I even here?

This is not even good for my family, blah, blah, blah.

When you have that kind of atmosphere, when you're not making money, it's almost costing you money to work there.

That tends to have people come in, do it for a reason, and then get out.

We have these people who are hanging out for decades.

Well, why wouldn't you?

If I could get an 80% return on my investments year after year after year after year,

why wouldn't you?

You know, other than it's wrong.

But wait a minute, I could double my money if I win two more elections.

I could start with $150,000 in a bank account, and I could be worth $30 million

if I just work here for the next 30 years.

Why wouldn't you?

Yeah, and you know what, Glenn?

I mean, really,

what you're alluding to here is that this is really just the tip of the iceberg.

Like, there is a symbiotic relationship between public officials and major corporations, in some cases, multinational corporations.

And this is one facet of that relationship.

And the longer that people stay around, the longer those networks develop and reinforce each other and police themselves, the more that both sides of the public sector-private sector divide, the more that divide melts away.

And it enriches people and it corrupts people and it creates very thick patronage networks.

uh that are just very tough to talk people out of participating in you know you if you do get reelected then you're back for a second term And the pressure on you to play ball and to be part of the team is just immense.

And I bet that some of Mike Lee's colleagues look at him and they go,

oh,

this guy's dope.

This guy's a pansy.

He thinks he's better than us.

For some strange reason, he doesn't want to enrich himself.

There's peer pressure.

It is sort of like weaponized high school in a way.

Geez, what a great term.

Weaponized high school.

That is exactly what it is.

James, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

God bless.

Absolutely.

All right.

God bless.

James is the Blaze Media Editor at Large.

He's also the host of Zero Hour, and he is also the host of this original from Blaze TV.

If you haven't seen it, I so highly recommend it to you.

It premiered last night, bought and paid for, How Politicians Get Filthy rich.

It is available to the public for a limited time now at youtube.com slash blazetv.com.

Before the premiere, I laid out,

I think, one of the most disgusting chalkboards that I've ever done.

And it is the dirty trick that Congress, you know, becomes rich on.

And you would go to jail if you did the same thing.

This is what the elites really are.

When you say the elites, why would they do that?

Why would they do that?

Well,

if you know war is coming

and you can openly just buy shocks of stocks of Raytheon and Boeing and Lockheed Martin, you know exactly the numbers of what we have left, what companies make those things that we're short on.

I showed you last night.

It's in this doc.

It's amazing.

The people who got out of airlines, carnival cruise lines, all of these things before you knew all of that, what was coming with COVID.

Before you knew, they had already taken their gains and got out before things went down south

because they had already been briefed.

They're not representing you.

The only way this stops is if you spread the word.

You really have to get the word out on this.

There is a path to freedom from debt.

If you hear anything different, Pat, will you let me know?

I will.

There is a path to freedom from debt.

If you're,

you know, if you are right now worried about your debt, you're worried about possibly losing your house.

If you're one of those those people that thought, oh, you know, they say the economy is getting better, it's not, okay?

It's not.

I don't take glee in telling you that.

I want the economy to be good as well.

We all lose if the economy is bad, but it is going to get tougher before it gets better.

So listen, if you're already afraid of maybe losing your house, Despair is a natural reaction to things, but it's not the best reaction.

It's not one you should wallow in.

God does not give us the spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind.

10 seconds, station ID.

So there's a couple of things going on.

By the way, we didn't have a chance to talk about this.

I know we had this video yesterday.

Do we still have it in the control room?

The UFO that was spotted shooting through the clouds here in Texas.

Did you see this?

Yeah.

It is weird.

It is.

Yeah.

If we have it.

There it is.

Let's go ahead and play this.

Look at that.

I mean, that's the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Look at that.

What is that?

It's like, they're calling it a dragon, a flying dragon.

What the f ⁇ was that?

Yo, what the f ⁇ ?

Because it just went

right in front of the sun behind the clouds, and all you saw was a giant...

It looked like a flying dragon.

It kind of did.

Yeah.

And they don't know what it is.

It's amazing.

You know, in the year 2024, this could still happen, where you're looking up at stuff and you still can't figure out.

I mean, we've got such incredible technology to videotape it, to photograph it, to get close-ups, to have high definition, and we still have no idea.

Yeah.

I don't know.

And look, we weren't freaked out.

I mean, look at this.

We're humans.

We weren't freaked out by the

eclipse.

Although, if you've never seen a total eclipse, which this is my first time, I just, I've seen eclipses before and I'm like, yeah, yeah, whatever.

A total eclipse is completely different.

I mean, I know

we're not stupid, but I did, it's so much more impressive.

Yes.

And it was a little unnerving, even though you know exactly what's going on.

It's a little unnerving.

When it gets cold and dark in the middle of the day with the sun out.

Yeah, it's weird.

It's weird.

It's really weird.

But so we're not afraid of that.

But we've come up with something else.

You see that?

That was an alien.

Or a dragon.

It clearly was not a dragon.

Clearly.

Alien.

I doubt it.

Maybe it was a shadow on a cloud of a plane flying.

Maybe.

Oh, you think it was a dragon?

I think it was fire breathing.

Probably a dragon.

Yeah.

Well, I didn't see any fire.

No, but I mean,

if he would have stuck around for a while, we would have seen the fire.

We would have seen the fire?

Yeah.

Okay.

Where is he now?

He went into space.

It's a space dragon.

Yeah.

Is that where they live?

Most of the time, yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

They come down every once in a while for air,

and they go back up into space.

So they're like torpids.

Yeah.

They breathe air, but they can go into space quite some time.

And hold their breath for really long periods of time.

That's weird.

Follow the science, gang.

Follow the science.

Exactly.

What if I could have prevented it?

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're very glad you're here.

It is Thursday.

You know, you've been pretty hard on our representatives in Congress today.

I think unfairly so.

Unfairly so.

Unfairly so.

Okay.

Because, I mean, they're doing some solid things.

Are they?

Too.

Really?

Maybe not the ones who are on the take, you know, with the insider trading information.

Right, which is about 70% of them.

The other 30%.

The other 30%.

They're on the job.

Educating Americans.

Really?

Sheila Jackson-Lee was out speaking to high school kids,

for instance.

And she was talking about the moon, you know, because the moon was just in front of the Sun and blocked it for a while.

So I think she had some interesting facts

on the moon.

On the eclipse and the moon.

And yes.

Yeah, okay, here it is.

Provide unique light and energy

so that you have the energy of the moon at night.

Right.

And sometimes you've heard the word full moon.

Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gases.

Oh, it's what?

And that's why

the question is why, or how could we as humans live on the moon?

Right.

Are the gases such that we could do that?

The sun is a mighty powerful heat.

It's almost

impossible.

Almost impossible to go near the sun.

To go near it.

The moon is more manageable.

Yeah.

And you will see

in a moment, or not a moment, you'll see in a couple of years that NASA is going back to the moon.

With all that gas?

Yeah.

Well, yeah, because it's manageable and it's a gas such that you can stand on it.

You can stand on the gas.

It's almost like the gas was a solid.

But it's not.

But it's not.

It's gas.

Okay, so that's it's not.

Now, see, I'm learning a lot here.

Okay.

It's not impossible to stand

on the sun.

On the sun, but it might not be hot.

When you go there, you'll be uncomfortable.

I bet if you try to live there on the sun, I've been to places where it's hot before.

Right, so it'll just be a little

hotter than that.

Okay, so we'll

be all right.

We bring in an air conditioner, right?

Okay, so I didn't know that because I thought it was impossible to stand on

gas.

Yeah, you know what I mean?

Yeah,

but she's saying gas is such that it's possible

to live there and to stand there.

Wow.

Because we already have.

And hang on just a sec.

What was that full moon thing?

The full moon was.

Yeah, it's like a full circle.

When you see the entire circle, the round thing

orb in the sky, that's the full moon.

You're not supposed to look at that round orb at the sky.

No, that's okay to look at because its energy is such that...

Oh.

Yeah.

Oh, the moon's energy.

The moon's energy.

Yeah.

And the moon's light.

It's a pretty good light, but it's not like...

It's more of a night light.

Yes.

It's kind of nice.

Yes.

So what?

I don't think she understands.

The moon doesn't have its own light.

I don't think she knows that either.

I don't think she knows that either.

I don't think she knows that.

It's awesome.

Is that incredible?

Wow.

Yeah.

The moon.

Yeah.

You know what?

Could you play that again?

Because notice no one laughs.

Right.

I'm not sure.

Because she is not joking.

Right, I know.

But no one laughs.

I'm not sure anyone in the audience knows she was wrong.

Unique light and energy

so that you have the energy of the moon at night.

No, you don't.

And sometimes you've heard the word full moon.

You've heard that.

Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle.

Complete rounded.

Which is made up mostly of gases.

Right, right.

And that's why the push.

The question is, why, or how could we as humans live on the moon?

We don't.

The gas is such that we could do that.

Oh, but we don't.

Oh, it is.

It is.

The moon is a mighty powerful beat.

And it's almost

almost impossible to go near the moon.

To go nearer and nearer.

The moon is not manageable.

And you will see

in a moment.

Oh, not a moment.

You'll see in a couple of years

that NASA is going back to the moon.

Okay.

With the gas.

With the gas.

Yes.

To stand on the gaseous moon.

Wow, it's going to be cool to see.

So how much of that gas do we get from the moon?

I mean,

it must cost Exxon a lot to get the gas from the moon to the pump, or is there a way, do we have a hose running from the pumps?

It's a pipeline.

It's a pipeline.

It's a pipeline from the moon to the earth.

Yeah.

She has been representing her district in Houston, Texas for over 30 years.

Oh.

Wow.

She should never talk about space ever again or anything else for that matter.

But definitely not space.

She was at NASA and asked them while she was doing a tour of NASA about whether or not you could still see the American flag that was planted on Mars.

That was in the

late 90s or early 2000s.

We didn't plant one.

No, we've never been to Mars.

We've never been to Mars.

Wait a minute.

That's new now.

I knew we didn't bring a flag.

Didn't bring a flag.

Because we left.

We forgot it, right?

We forgot the flag.

And then we forgot to put the human on Mars.

Right.

So, yeah, there's no flag on Mars.

We forgot to put the human on board, too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Who is responsible for that?

It's stupid, NASA.

Wow.

We landed a ship down there and nobody was on board.

Nobody on board.

Wow.

Pathetic.

Did it slip into the gas?

No, not on Mars.

What are you stupid?

Well, no.

Mars.

Moon that's gas.

Mars is cheese.

How do you get that butt stupid?

I don't know.

Seriously.

I really don't know.

How could you, if you were sitting,

because if you were sitting in a meeting, now imagine this, okay?

You've been to meetings where you're like,

this person's a moron.

But you're doing work.

There's something that you have to, you just, you just have to plow through it because you just have to, you have to get through it.

You're selling this person something, whatever it is you do for a living.

And you're sitting in that meeting and they say something stupid and you just have to go,

yeah.

And you just move on, right?

Yeah.

I don't think I would have the human restraint.

No.

No way.

To sit in a room and have her say, and you know, that's the full circle and it's mainly gas.

I don't, I don't think I could do it.

I think this is a really, don't do this, kids, because Jesus would not have done this.

But I'm telling you, I probably would have, I probably would have played with her like a mouse and a cat.

I probably would have been,

wow, really?

Gas.

What kind of gas is that?

I think I would have that is such that you can land on it and live there.

I'd like to know.

Yeah.

And so this gas,

does it have any air in it?

Or is it just oxygen?

Or is it like

a really hard gas, like a rock gas sort of thing?

Is it that?

Well, I know we brought some dust back.

So we know it's a dusty gas.

Yes.

I couldn't

do it.

Okay.

Let me,

speaking of representatives in Houston, let me give you this.

This is from the Black Lawyers podcast, which I listen to all the time.

This is Texas Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett.

She's really good.

Is she?

She's really good.

Yeah.

She is suggesting now that black Americans

shouldn't necessarily have to pay any taxes.

Here she is.

Just this past week, I saw, I don't remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity, and I was like, I don't know that that's not necessarily a bad idea, but I'd have to think through it a lot.

One of the things that they proposed is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time because then again, that puts money back in your pocket, but at the same time,

it may not be as objectionable to some people about actually giving out dollars.

But obviously, then you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things like that.

And that's one of the reasons that you know we argue the reparations make sense.

That's powerful, isn't that a powerful point?

I still want to ask her about the moon.

The following content identifies as a commercial.

Isn't that lovely?

The Glenn Beck program

will be right back.

It's been six months since the brutal attack by Hamas on our brothers and sisters in Israel, and since then, the attacks on Israel have only increased, especially in the north.

This is where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews comes in.

They are on the ground right now, addressing all the needs as they come in.

Your life-saving donation today can help provide a bomb shelter in an area in Israel that needs it the most.

When the siren goes off, people have 15 seconds or less to get to safety.

20 people can fit inside each mobile bomb shelter, and they're constructed to withstand the rocket attacks.

The IFCJ has helped renovate and install nearly 3,000 bomb shelters.

The cost of one bomb shelter is $15,000.

Could you give $50?

If 300 listeners give just $50, we'll have a new bomb shelter installed.

If you're able to increase your generosity and give $500 or more, your name will be included on a special plaque placed on the bomb shelter.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad that you have joined us.

I was going to talk today about

Israel.

Tomorrow, we are going to have somebody on, I think,

that can talk to us a little bit about Iran.

She is Persian.

She knows Iran inside and out.

She used to be in the Trump administration and really is a fan of what Donald Trump did.

She's like, it's, you know.

With Iran?

With Iran.

Yeah.

And you notice things were much better then

under Trump, not in the entire Middle East.

The whole world

is laughing at us.

And I don't care if they laugh and we think we're right.

They're laughing at us because

they know the truth that we will not admit to ourselves we are a country that is constantly shooting ourselves in the foot we are constantly doing things that are bad for us i mean we won't fill the strategic oil reserve and we are on the eve of war

i mean

And I don't even think people are even talking about that.

You know,

you had Russia come out this week and say that they're doing an investigation because we are funding terror activity inside of Russia.

That's their claim.

What do you think is going to happen if they come to that conclusion?

What do you think we would do?

Iran has been saying that they are going to attack Israel and America.

And does anybody really talk about it?

We know there are terrorists in our country.

We know this because of the border.

Okay.

And there's a lot of them.

There's a lot of them.

And then let's just say 2% of the people in Dearborn, just 2%.

And we know that's not true because there's what?

What was that number?

49 or 50%

of Muslims

in this country.

This country.

In this country say Hamas was right.

Okay.

And we had them chanting death to America in our own streets.

What do you think happens?

And they were quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini

from Iran in Dearborn.

They were quoting him.

What do you think happens when he blesses a launch against the United States of America?

And then we respond to them.

What do you think is going to happen?

Like, what is wrong with everybody?

It's.

did you listen to 1984 yet?

Have you listened to that yet?

I haven't had a time.

Go to Audible.

There's a new,

it's a condensed version, so it's not the whole thing.

It's like a play almost.

It's about an hour and a half.

I finished it last night.

Really, the first two parts are what you have to listen to.

You just listen to the first, it'd probably take you 20, 30 minutes.

Go to Audible and listen to the first two parts of

1984, George Orwell, and

just, I don't care who you voted for, because you'll, if you voted differently than me and you disagree with me,

I believe you will come to the same conclusion.

You'll just say, it's different people than I say it is.

But you cannot deny that these things are happening.

I mean, it,

I was listening to it and I was thinking, I mean, when they were talking about, you know, the kids who are being taught to hate,

the kids who are being taught that they know more than their parents, and their parents, you know, kind of afraid to say anything about it.

It's one thing after

another.

It's no longer a science fiction book.

It's not.

It is fact.

It's happening now.

so anyway i'm going to talk about

uh i'm going to talk about uh

an idea of what i think is behind a lot of this stuff and you know i think a lot of people will find it

ridiculous but i shared it with a uh i shared it with a rabbi a couple of weeks ago and he said do you think it was ridiculous no he didn't he didn't and i and and he has a reason to in some ways i mean um

the Jewish people generally don't believe in good and evil the same way some Christians do, that evil is an entity.

And,

you know,

it's slightly different views on

things.

And

I really didn't think that he would because of that.

And he said,

have you said that on the air?

And I said, I don't think so.

And he said, you have to.

You have to.

He said, I think that is,

I think that could be right.

So we'll talk about that tomorrow.

As we're doing, Passover is,

what, a week from Monday.

And

the red heifer

is supposed to be,

I guess, sanctified and then burned

in Israel, which is...

Didn't they get that from Texas?

Yeah, they did.

Yeah.

They did.

Now, there's been other red heifers, but they haven't gone through with it in the past.

The 10th red heifer is the one that is supposed to trigger the return of Christ

or

the Messiah.

So,

does that happen?

They're saying that it's going to happen next week, but there is a few other things that have to happen.

And next week, we're going to go into the red heifer, and we're also going to tell you about the possible location of the Ark of the Covenant.

Because

they can't rebuild the temple and have it be the temple without the Ark of the Covenant, but some say they know exactly where it is and it's ready to go.
